Directions

  1. Combine butter and hot sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir until butter is melted, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and keep warm.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. Place cornstarch in a shallow bowl and lightly dip shrimp into the cornstarch.

  4. Fry shrimp, working in batches, in the hot oil until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Add shrimp to the butter-hot sauce and allow to sit for 3 to 4 minutes.

Recipe Note

This is an easy dish for ball games or to take to parties. I like to make sure additional sauce covers the shrimp when served. Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing, if desired.
